15. Good for them

"Another proud moment in the fight against misogyny."

http://susiebright.blogs.com/susie_brights_journal_/ and http://sideshow.me.uk/

Say it better than I, but there isn't a direct link between porn and misogyny. While the link with some religions and misogyny is pretty clear.

This is a pretty good way to advertise the paternalism of the bible and do it with humor.

Texas atheist students swap Bibles for porn [View all]	rug	Apr 2012	OP
I think this movement needs a little diversity.	cbayer	Apr 2012	#1
If there were a few more women involved, I doubt they'd be swapping for porn	rug	Apr 2012	#2
Are you talking about the RCC?	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#24
Where, in the African, Asian, or Latin American dioceses?	rug	Apr 2012	#31
I'm talking about the place of women in the church.	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#34
Thye post you replied to mentioned "more women and people of color."	rug	Apr 2012	#35
No, I'm not	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#37
Other than Hoyos, what is your dissatisfaction with the ethnic and racial diversity of the RCC?	rug	Apr 2012	#42
That all came out after the selection	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#43
They just get more popular every day. nt	humblebum	Apr 2012	#54
They do indeed. ;) nt	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#55
Indeed they do, and at the expense of religion, too!	cleanhippie	Apr 2012	#56
Yes, everyone knows religion exploits women and porn doesn't.	humblebum	Apr 2012	#57
Well, at the very least, religion exploits children...	cleanhippie	Apr 2012	#100
Hmmm...I think you're missing something.	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#102
everyone knows religion exploits women and porn doesn't.	AlbertCat	Apr 2012	#109
I find this as annoying	qazplm	Apr 2012	#3
Well, the important thing...	Ian David	Apr 2012	#6
Come on now,	Kelvin Mace	Apr 2012	#9
Saying there are too many dicks is like saying there are too many flowers.	Ian David	Apr 2012	#12
I find this as annoying as proselytizing by religious folk.	AlbertCat	Apr 2012	#110
There's no misogyny if it's gay male porn. n/t	Ian David	Apr 2012	#4
That's true, but probably unlikely. They bought 30 pounds of porn from a single seller	cbayer	Apr 2012	#16
"They bought 30 pounds of porn from a single seller"	Rob H.	Apr 2012	#58
Actually it was 140 pounds for $30!	cbayer	Apr 2012	#61
Man!	Rob H.	Apr 2012	#62
Maybe it's an estate sale?	cbayer	Apr 2012	#64
Ha! I can just see it	Rob H.	Apr 2012	#88
Sounds like a win-win	FBaggins	Apr 2012	#5
Do not taunt rabid dogs	Kelvin Mace	Apr 2012	#7
How to win friends and supporters by being offensive and rude.	Speck Tater	Apr 2012	#8
I keep telling people	Kelvin Mace	Apr 2012	#10
It depends on who their targeted audience is, and what their desired result is.	Ian David	Apr 2012	#13
Looks like it might be a combination of 1 and 3	cbayer	Apr 2012	#46
They're not going to SPREAD Atheism that way.	Ian David	Apr 2012	#66
What's your church doing to fight against misogyny, rug?	trotsky	Apr 2012	#11
They stopped burning "witches." n/t	Ian David	Apr 2012	#14
Gotta love progress!	trotsky	Apr 2012	#21
What are you doing to fight against misogyny, trotsky?	rug	Apr 2012	#18
You're right, I do lots more than you and your church. n/t	trotsky	Apr 2012	#19
I'll take you word for it.	rug	Apr 2012	#22
Good for them	Buzz cook	Apr 2012	#15
I believe the swapping of bibles for porn to be a dumb, unfunny and destructive , sophomoric	ladjf	Apr 2012	#17
I'll believe that you actually care about misogyny beyond your rhetorical convenience	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#20
Do you believe I care about your belief?	rug	Apr 2012	#23
Way to not yet address the hypocrisy of your post.	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#25
Ah, so you approve this stunt because the RCC is misogynist.	rug	Apr 2012	#26
Build your strawmen somewhere else.	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#27
This OP is about swapping Bibles for porn.	rug	Apr 2012	#28
OK, guess we have to go through this one step at a time	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#29
Wrong step.	rug	Apr 2012	#30
Not the wrong step	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#32
You are asserting two different things.	rug	Apr 2012	#36
Funny. You still don't answer the question.	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#39
From the article you posted:	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#33
That's an interesting and plausible view.	rug	Apr 2012	#38
How the fuck do you know?	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#40
To quote a teacher of communication, "How the fuck do you know" their intent?	rug	Apr 2012	#44
Did you read that article?	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#48
Calling upon your mystical mind-reading powers again, I see.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#41
I know what you're up to. You're your usual transparent self.	rug	Apr 2012	#47
So contrary to what the group says their intent is	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#50
Sure.	rug	Apr 2012	#60
Not only do I not doubt that was their intent...	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#45
These are the alternatives:	rug	Apr 2012	#49
I would say that those were all objectives...	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#51
This is their president's statement of intent	cbayer	Apr 2012	#52
Probably set up more booths?	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#53
Fair enough.	rug	Apr 2012	#59
You've been proven wrong, and been quite belligerent in defending your wrongness...	trotsky	Apr 2012	#65
Now, trotsky, that is the difference between you and a nondisruptive poster.	rug	Apr 2012	#68
Stayin' classy indeed.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#82
Fortunately, I dont form my perception of atheists based on you or your posts.	rug	Apr 2012	#86
No, that's pretty clear.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#91
Because that would mean the atheists have a point.	2ndAmForComputers	Apr 2012	#67
Oh? Are you distributing porn?	rug	Apr 2012	#69
What the hell does that have to do with anything?	2ndAmForComputers	Apr 2012	#70
Just the OP.	rug	Apr 2012	#72
Pro tip: in order for a snappy reply to actually be snappy...	2ndAmForComputers	Apr 2012	#73
Follow it.	rug	Apr 2012	#74
Dude. That's old.	2ndAmForComputers	Apr 2012	#75
Dude.	rug	Apr 2012	#76
Er, you may not like rug. You may disagree with rug. But his snappiness is pretty	cbayer	Apr 2012	#77
I can only assume that you were either	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#78
It's the team. Rah rah go team.	2ndAmForComputers	Apr 2012	#104
Sox do rule and Yankees do suck.	cbayer	Apr 2012	#107
Can't argue against THAT.	2ndAmForComputers	Apr 2012	#112
Good for him.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#83
Well that explains a lot.	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#85
It's astonishing, the lengths you will go to avoid	mr blur	Apr 2012	#63
Considering the OP is not about the Catholic Church,	rug	Apr 2012	#71
The OP is about you taking issue with something and revealing a certain hypocrisy.	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#79
Why don't you comment on the article instead of attempting another diversion?	rug	Apr 2012	#80
Why don't you actually reply to a point put to you for once?	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#81
Do you support this group distributing pornography.	rug	Apr 2012	#84
Had they come to me	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#87
Not so fast.	rug	Apr 2012	#94
I'm on my phone	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#103
Truly fascinating and oh-so-telling.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#106
You are off on many points.	Goblinmonger	Apr 2012	#111
I could answer easily, but it's not germane to the OP or the subthread.	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#89
I see. You could answer easily. But you don't.	rug	Apr 2012	#90
More inartful dodging. If you have nothing to say about your hypocrisy, then why say anything here?	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#92
How many posts will it take you to avoid an answer?	rug	Apr 2012	#95
And what did it get him? Nothing.	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#97
There's another..	rug	Apr 2012	#98
Yes, but not in the way you "believe". ;)	darkstar3	Apr 2012	#99
I'll answer you too, so there's one less thing you can hide behind.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#93
And lets be honest, anything atheists do that might actually...	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#96
Precisely.	trotsky	Apr 2012	#105
Not true at all. There was significant support for the reason rally	cbayer	Apr 2012	#108
rug, on this very forum, attempted to paint the Reason Rally in a bad light...	eqfan592	Apr 2012	#113
There is criticism in this group about actions of both atheists and theists.	cbayer	Apr 2012	#114
I've got a bible or two laying hete somewhere... nt	rrneck	Apr 2012	#101
